Imagine a hot tub party where a married couple tests the boundaries of fidelity. A model who finds herself unaccountably aroused as she poses for a watercolor artist. A pool of water on a desert road and two lovers who know how to make the most of it. This is Aqua Erotica, a sensuous tasting of desire's liquid, ecstatic other worlds.

Aqua Erotica is a siren's song, a book so unforgettably sexy that you will want to take it with you to the bath, the sauna, the night-lit pool.

What's amazing is that you can.

High-class erotica in a waterproof package

By Bruce Shipman on December 30, 2013

Format: Paperback Verified Purchase

A nice collection of well-written stories, perfect for perusing in the bath. I like it just as much as I did when I bought it ten years ago. It would be nice, however, if the font was a little larger.

Disappointed

By Lynn on April 24, 2001

Format: Paperback Verified Purchase

The idea of reading a book in the bath is pretty cool, but I was looking for more. The stories were boring. There was just too much hype and I don't think it's worth the money.

Everything is better when it's VERY WET!

By girldiver on October 20, 2004

Format: Paperback

I enjoyed this anthology of erotic stories. Of course, not every story was my cup of tea which is why I only gave it four stars.

This anthology is visually exciting and sensually diverse. Contained between these pages are sexual situations from all walks of life. Therefore, if you are not sexually open-minded you might want to skip this book.

What really intrigued me was the deep emotional element with in the characters of the short stories. This certainly wasn't just an anthology describing intense sexual situations but more emotional journeys incorporated in sexual situations. I was surprised by some of the endings of the stories and the wonderful writing by various authors.

Another plus to this book was that it is water proof. So read it in the bath, pool, hot tub, or even in the rain! Heck, read it outloud during an adult game of slip-n-slide!

Interesting

By A Customer on May 12, 2003

Format: Paperback Verified Purchase

I enjoyed this book as well as the next in the series and have given it many times as a gift, to male and female friends. I like all the metaphors and especially, the softer touch.

Sexy and fun

By Tanja L. Walker on October 3, 2000

Format: Paperback

Like some other reviewers, I found the small type face to be a bother at times, though I liked the feel of the book itself. Overall, I enjoyed all the stories, but I found some of them to be rather uninspired. The premise behind "Velvet Glove," for example, seemed unoriginal (though kudos for at least making the unoriginal reasonably interesting). Others, though, were creative, exciting, and thought-provoking. I especially loved "Water Color" for its playfulness, "The Addiction" for its serious and painful take of the phenomina of cybering, and "Fisherman's Friend" for being the flat out most sexy of the bunch. Good book, just hope that magnifying glass doesn't steam up while you're reading the book in the bath!

Not Arousing, But Interesting

By "gsibbery" on December 18, 2001

Format: Paperback

I got this book after reading Mohanraj's other collection, "Torn Shapes of Desire", which I liked a lot. While this collection doesn't quite measure up to the other, it is still quite an interesting read. Although no story here aroused me in the least, I still found them very interesting to read, particularly the stories that treaded on into rather dangerous territory, such as "In Deep", which touches on the themes of sex and death and total surrender. "Seven Cups Of Water" (Mohanraj's own contribution) I also enjoyed immensely, as it touched on members in a society which would not tolerate the sort of relationship that they needed to make them whole (although I think Deepa Mehta's file "Fire" was a better story in this respect). there are numerous stories of homosexual encounters here, so if you find that offensive, it may be best to pass on this one. But I will say this for the book . . . unlike most "erotica", it actually makes you think!

Good enough highbrow stuff

By A Customer on August 27, 2000

Format: Paperback

The many good stories in this book are hot enough for this middle-aged hetero female, and for that reason I give it five stars. But the first reviewer is correct; the font size is awfully small. My glasses can't be worn in a 'steamy bath'!
Intelligent erotica worth reading. The water theme makes sense, in or out of the tub.

Dreamy stories

By Jay on October 18, 2012

Format: Paperback Verified Purchase

These stories just make you..... *sigh*
I read this book over 10yrs ago, I owned it and then it was gone. I had to get it again. It's a relaxing, dreamy, makes-you-wanna-do-things-kinda book. Well written, more books like these are needed for us ladies. :)

WOW

What an amazing book. Its very descriptive for your imagination. Its the book you can pick up and read in the tub when you want to just relax and forget about you day.

A little something for everyone..

I had this book years ago and seemed to have lost it. I just repurchased it and it was just as hot as reading it the first time. There are a variety of stories. Read more

Just Add Water

Some of the stories were a little dry. Some of the stories made me wet. But at least the book wasn't ruined!

Published on September 16, 2005 by Shannon Mullins

Dull, unsexy

Really not very good stories - not particularly sexy, nor good romance, nor good lit. Avoid this one, there's so many better erotic books.

From the bath tub friendly design to arousing variety of stories inside, Aqua Erotica is on my don't miss list of contemporary erotica. Read more

Finally, something hot and steamy for those nice long baths.

Fun and varied

The stories vary in quality, but there are some gems there (including a great one by the editor, at the end). Read more

Very dull

Barely literary, rather dull, and way too gimmicky. Some of it is just plain trivial and badly written, other parts are sort of well written but boring - avoid.
